Dog coded Rinzler is real, but you know what else is real to me?
Dog coded Alan
Who else but a dog sits at the door waiting for an owner never coming home
Who slept with a pager every night for 20 years with no guarantee Flynn would come back, hell, most people would assume he’s dead
He would have slept with that pager for the rest of his life, if that message hadn’t come in
But it did, and he ran to Sam with that hopeless optimism only devotion carries. And he ran again, at the second message. It was confirmation, it was a knock at the door.
Maybe this is just me being insane, but even as Sam and Quorra drive off, Alan watches them from the Arcade. He STILL doesn’t leave. He stands in front and watches them leave again, still trapped by his endless devotion to an absent man
